Chapter 50: Crisis

~7 min read 1,304 words

Bang!

Lin Feng had just exited the passage when he saw a huge figure smash into a sand dune not far away.

With a loud boom, that sand dune was directly flattened.

And that immense force, seemingly not yet dissipated, continued to push White Fang's serpentine body farther away.

Afterwards, it smashed through four or five sand dunes in succession, carving a long trench in the sand before gradually coming to a stop.

Its massive body was also obscured by the thick dust.

Hehe, you dead snake, you came to my Snake-People Tribe earlier to cause trouble and I haven't settled the score with you yet; this time you actually dare to come to my Tagor Great Desert.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell, and a graceful, curvy figure stood in midair.

A pair of beautiful eyes looked disdainfully at White Fang, obscured by dust and mist.

Afterwards, the lovely figure slightly raised her jade arm, wiping away a faint trickle of red that had quietly flowed from the corner of her lips.

Obviously, the actual situation was not as easy as she claimed.

But I didn't expect there to still be a Dou Huang; this time you know to find backup, huh?

Gazing at the side where Qing Lin was held, and at Lü Man warily watching her, Medusa furrowed her brows slightly and sneered.

Seeing White Fang being blown away, Lü Man also tightly frowned, startled and silently cursing.

Looking at this situation, it must be that lecherous snake losing its wits upon seeing Medusa.

Otherwise, even if Medusa is a peak Dou Huang,

it would be impossible for her to so easily defeat the eight-star Dou Huang White Fang.

At the same time, Lü Man couldn't figure it out in her mind.

The Snake-People Tribe's attribute leans toward yin and cold; for her, seeking Different Fire would be of little use.

Taking it out to trade? There's no need to fight to the death with those two Dou Huang experts, is there?

And Lin Feng, at this moment, also looked upward.

All he saw was that graceful figure clad in a luxurious purple brocade robe.

Under the robe, her figure was plump and exquisite, like a ripe peach, exuding a faint allure.

A head of three thousand strands of black hair casually fell from her fragrant shoulders, hanging straight down to her slender waist.

Yet beneath that brocade robe, a section of purple snake tail was revealed.

With a slight sway, a wild, bewitching allure emanated, making people inexplicably feel a heat all over.

His gaze swept over her near-perfect figure, finally settling on her beautiful face.

Instantly, his heartstrings twitched violently; upon seeing this woman in person, Lin Feng finally understood somewhat.

Why do many people near the desert say that Queen Medusa's illustrious reputation can rival her fearsome fame?

For such a woman, it seems only the two words 'bewitching' can describe her.

Yet beneath that bewitching exterior, she also harbored an empress-like nobility and grace.

This captivating aura easily gives men a sense of conquest.

However, after these days of training, Lin Feng's mind also received a great boost, and he quickly recovered.

Seeing that no one noticed him, Lin Feng lowered his body to the ground as much as possible, reducing his presence.

Taking advantage of the dust from White Fang's collision with the sand dunes not yet dissipated, he hurriedly ran toward the Jia Ma Empire.

As long as he escapes, the two Dou Huang, Lü Man and White Fang, fleeing from Medusa's grasp, will surely be fine.

Hehe, little mouse, want to run?

Sensing Lin Feng's movement, Medusa curled her red lips slightly and said with a giggle.

After Medusa finished speaking, a green-colored figure suddenly shot out from beside her.

Then, with a 'swish,' it rushed toward Lin Feng's position.

Holy shit! I just went to get some Different Fire— is that necessary?

Hearing Medusa's alluring voice, Lin Feng realized he had been discovered and instantly panicked.

Young master!

Seeing Lin Feng in danger, Qing Lin cried out sharply.

Swish~

Just as that green-colored figure was about to make contact with Lin Feng, a black shadow swiftly snatched him away.

At the same time, a tail lashed out violently, smacking that green-colored figure toward the distant sand.

Pfft~

The green-clad woman only felt a sweetness in her throat, then a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Rising from the sand pit, the pair of blue wings on her back twitched slightly as she came to Medusa's side.

Bending over to apologize, she said: 'Queen, Hua She'er failed to bring back the Different Fire.'

It's fine; although that dead snake was heavily injured by me, it's not something a mere Dou Wang like you can contend with.

Gazing at the suddenly appearing White Fang, she furrowed her brows and said.

Kid, you've screwed me over this time; I need extra pay!

At this moment, White Fang was also extremely angry.

Originally, it thought obtaining Different Fire would just be a simple matter.

But it never expected to provoke Medusa.

However, when it saw Medusa, it didn't pay too much attention.

After all, it had previously clashed many times with Medusa in the Snake-People Tribe.

It originally thought Medusa was just like before, wanting to take the Different Fire to trade for some things.

As long as I step forward and intimidate her a bit, letting her see there's nothing to gain, she'll naturally back off.

I never expected that after Medusa got close, she would suddenly launch a killing blow at it.

As a result of carelessness, it ended up looking like this...

Huu~

Seeing Lin Feng rescued from above, Qing Lin broke out in a cold sweat and patted her violently beating little heart.

Seeing himself rescued, Lin Feng also let out a big sigh of relief.

Looking down at Bai Ya, it now had only half of its original four pairs of wings.

Its body was covered in wounds big and small, continuously bleeding fresh blood.

"Uh... senior, rest assured, when the time comes, if you want to refine any pills, just come find me; I'll refine whatever I can for you."

Seeing Bai Ya in such a miserable state, Lin Feng, fearing it might flee, hurriedly made empty promises.

"Hmph, that's about right."

Seeing Lin Feng's attitude, Bai Ya's anger finally subsided considerably.

Having come this far, it doesn't want to abandon Lin Feng and slink away before the final moment.

After all, that would not only lose the Strange Fire, but also offend Qing Lin and lose Lin Feng, a future high-level alchemist.

"I don't know what's gotten into that Medusa—could she possibly absorb the Strange Fire? What should we do now?"

Seeing Bai Ya take Lin Feng into the sky, Lu Man also immediately came over and asked Lin Feng.

Hearing that, Bai Ya also looked at Lin Feng, after all, this matter was considered his doing.

"Uh... what if I use my Purple Cloud Wings to carry Qing Lin and run, while you two seniors hold off the two opponents for a while?"

Gazing at Medusa and Hua She'er opposite, Lin Feng said.

"What harebrained idea did you come up with, kid? Over there is a peak Battle Emperor and a Seven-Star Battle King; although that Medusa was also hit by a few of my attacks, our situation is worse now—at best we can together hold off just one Medusa—can you outrun that Battle King?"

Hearing Bai Ya's words, Lin Feng glanced at the green-clothed snake person and shook his head helplessly.

Afterwards, thinking that Medusa had also been injured by Bai Ya, he touched the storage ring containing the Strange Fire and immediately said: "I have a plan, but I need the two seniors to cooperate with me."
